NASA’s $3.5 Billion Idea To Save Earth From A Supervolcano Apocalypse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2019
- Yellowstone National Park sits atop a massive supervolcano that’s considered one of the greatest volcano threats in the county. While experts estimate that a super-eruption might not happen for another few million years, NASA scientists performed a thought experiment to determine how we could prevent Yellowstone from ever erupting again. Their hypothetical idea involves cooling the volcano down by pumping cold water into a series of wells around its perimeter. If implemented, the scenario could potentially save Earth from a super-volcano apocalypse.

NASA’s $3.5 Billion Idea To Save Earth From A Super-Volcano Apocalypse 
Наука
$3.4 billion is a cheap price. The United States spends $600 billion on defense.
"defense"
lol that’s what they tell you but it’s probably really in the trillions cause of all our top secret stuff.
And how much on a wall again?
ArkTitan not even 😂
And the US also owes trillions in debt
Who’s here before it erupted😎👌🏻
I didn’t make it in time

“The volcano is still sleeping and probably will be for a while” - sounds like something a super volcano would say
ROFL Absolutely!
It’s actually very active and getting more so. Every volcano in the northwest is. Check out all the quakes happening right now. Somethings about to pop off
there have been supervolcano eruptions in the past and the ones in yellowstone now are way overdue.
I'm gonna make a joke
"That's the biggest cream pie ever"
Sorry I had to
It’s a dormant volcano meaning it’s asleep but it could erupt at any time like Tambora it was dormant and it’s cloud stayed in the sky for 3 years so the temperatures dropped which is basically what Yellowstone it’s gonna do but MUCH MUCH BIGGER EFFECTS
“Yellowstone was supposed to erupt 40,000 years ago”

XxRSGAMERXx are you The idiot Because the steam does build up pressure but It wouldn’t do much it’s so hot down there that If you even put 3 gallons of water it will do nothing and just make The pressure melt makes no sense but there can’t be air bubbles in lava that deep

Guy don’t worry , the volcano can’t erupt without our consent . 💁🏽♂️

What the hell tambora is still alive bruh
Ok thanks
hahahahahahahahahahaha
i don't ask for consent 😈😈
NASA in 2019:
“This volcano is a problem.
It erupts every 600,000 years.
The last time it erupted was about 600,000 years ago.
Also NASA in 2019: “Don’t worry, we probably have another few million years before it erupts again.”
U caught that too? K
Nah its 100K years
2.1 million divided 3 is 700k and the last eruption was 600k years ago
LMAO
That means it could blow tomorrow and scientists know shit

The icecaps are slowly melting. There's a volcanic ridge on Antartica, holding 90-120 volcanic peaks which are mostly held dormant, due to the massive weight of the ice-layer on top of them. With that weight dropping, it'd require less pressure for one, or multiple of them, to come to eruption. Lava fuming out on the South-Pole would cause more ice to melt there, creating a chain-reaction.
Next to Yellowstone there's also the Long-Valley caldera which seems more active than YS. Toba in Indonesia is also showing signs of activity. The Aira Caldea in Japan, and then there's something called Flood Volcanism. If something of this magnitude would happen, there's nothing humanity can do. This planet has kept itself in check for over 4.5B years. Humans only exist for a rough 2M years.. We're not even a flea in an unshaved sheepskin, in that perspective.
Bottom line: Humanity has lost its respect for this planet a long time ago. Its all about money, power, and control now.
@@thegreenreaper6660 you realize nothing humanity has done or will do will directly stop our inevitable destruction right? Stop blaming humanity and go back to worshiping technologies by replying to my comment you pleb.
@@Idekreally Who are you talking to here? And where on earth did you get the idea i was blaming humanity, what so ever?
Maybe you should go hide back in this basement of your mom, instead of being a burden to (even a youtube-)society.
Your entire accusation is bonkers, your reasoning is inadequate, and your logic is insane. I'm merely stating a few scientific facts that were recently discovered, and that humankind, atleast from the ruling-classes, have no regard for nature or this planet anymore, only money, and power.
This is power: mother nature at her worst! The fertile soils around a volcanic area, that is wealth! The lush blooming greenlands that will grow any sort of vegetation to its very best due to the mineral-rich soil.
People arent being educated enough about this sort of information. Thats not because of humanity in general, but only those who dictate what is to be educated! But that is a whole different sort of discussion.
Ikr, like imagine if they tried to stop Yellowstone and Toba but a mother super eruption occurs with a different one, it’s probably gonna destroy humanity as we know ot

But then the pressure would build so much the earth itself would explode
Noah Strader just throw cold water in there
@@berata3144 yeah maybe 2-3 cups of water and a couple of ice cubes and we're all chilling. Smh who do they have working for nasa😩
You could actually trigger a super-eruption by introducing large amounts of water close to the magma chamber. The water would be evaporated and thus introduce substantial gas into the equation. Gas is a major contributor to the pressures that cause a volcano to erupt, and which helps to provide the force for the powerful ejection of lava.
Yeah, steam causes pressure, pressure builds up, magma might melt faster, triggering the eruption. It might be extremely dangerous, more so then any other natural occurring eruption(super or not”
What about a missle ?

There is one thing that occurred to me. The lava is always flowing and the park bulges up and down becase that lava condenses. Just like how blood flows threw your body. If you were to puncture a hole in the volcano wouldn’t all that lava just rush to the opening? And wouldn’t it explode there? If there is one thing we should’ve learned about nature by now it’s to not mess with it.

Humans: we can make volcanoes into a energy source
Volcanoes: am I joke to you?
Wouldnt that just lock pressures deeper under ground in place, and allow them to accumulate overtime getting even larger, because it has to have more pressure to push that extra weight? Or is there a nearby weak point they can relieve pressure from?
That’s what I think.
“Last time it erupted? Oh, around 600,000 years ago.”
